TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a vehicle cord-equipped electrical component provided in a gap between an outer plate and an inner plate of a vehicle.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As this kind of electric equipment with a cord wire for a vehicle, one having a configuration shown in FIGS. 5 to 7 is known. A door switch device 2 is provided, for example, inside a rear door 1 of a vehicle as electrical equipment with a vehicle cord wire. The door switch device 2 includes a main body 3 having a switch and a holding arm 4. A switch (not shown) is provided inside the main body 3, and the code line 5 is led out of the switch. The code line 5 is held by the holding portion 4 a of the holding arm 4.
[0003]
This door switch device 2 is disposed in a gap G between an outer plate portion 6a and an inner plate portion 6b of a door plate 6, which is a double wall portion of the rear door 1, and in this case, the main body portion 3 It is attached to the end plate portion 6c of the door plate 6. The main body 3 is provided with an operation section 3a for turning on an internal switch. The holding arm 4 is provided to guide the code wire 5 to a portion where the gap G is interrupted. The leading end side of the cord wire 5 is drawn out from between the outer plate portion 6a and the inner plate portion 6b, and is connected to a connector or an electrical component as appropriate.
[0004]
In this device, when the user operates the operation section 3a after opening the rear door 1, a switch is turned on and an appropriate door closing mechanism is operated, whereby the rear door 1 is closed.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the above-mentioned device, after the door switch device 2 is assembled to the door plate 6 (before the lining 1a is attached), when the cord wire 5 held by the holding arm portion 4 is pulled out or routed appropriately, the holding arm When a force is applied to the portion 4 in the direction of arrow A or in the opposite direction, the main body portion 3 may come off the door plate 6 or the root portion of the holding arm portion 4 may be broken.
[0006]
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide an electric component with a cord wire for a vehicle, in which a holding arm portion is not damaged and a main body portion is not detached from an attached portion. .
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
It is provided in the gap of the double wall of the vehicle,
A body portion attached to the attached portion of the double wall portion,
A code line derived from the main body,
A holding arm portion extending in a predetermined direction from the main body portion and holding the code wire in the gap;
It is characterized by having an elastically deformable portion formed on the holding arm portion.
[0008]
According to this, even when an external force is applied to the holding arm when the cord wire is routed, the elastically deformable portion is deformed, so that the external force can be absorbed, the main body portion comes off from the attached portion, or the holding arm portion is damaged. Nothing to do. When the external force disappears, the elastically deformable portion elastically returns, and the holding arm returns to the original state, and the cord wire can be held in a predetermined form.
[0009]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The same components as those in the related art are denoted by the same reference numerals. The door switch device 11 as an electrical component with a vehicle cord wire according to the present embodiment is disposed in a gap G between an outer plate portion 6a and an inner plate portion 6b of a door plate 6, which is a double wall of the rear door 1, for example. It is provided as follows. The main body 12 has a mounting frame 13 fitted and fixed in a mounting hole (mounting portion) 6 d of an end plate portion 6 c of the door plate 6, a case 14 mounted on the mounting frame 13, and the mounting frame 13. And an operation unit 15 made of rubber and used as a seal. The attachment frame 13 is attached by being engaged with the edge of the attachment hole 6d by an engagement claw 13a. Inside the main body 12, there are provided a holder 16, an operation element 17 held by the holder 16 so as to be movable in an arrow R direction and a counter-arrow R direction, and a switch 18 operated by the movement of the operation element 17. Have been. A code wire 19 is led out of the switch 18, and is fixed in a U-shaped bent state by a code wire stopper 14 a formed on the case 14 and led out of the case 14.
[0010]
When the operation section 15 is pushed, the operation section 15 is elastically deformed, and the operation element 17 is moved in the direction of arrow R. As a result, the switch 18 is turned on. When the operation force is released, the operation unit 15 and the operation element 17 automatically return.
[0011]
The holding arm portion 20 is integrally extended from the case 14 of the main body portion 12 toward oblique information, and has a plurality of hook-shaped cord wire stopper portions 20a formed thereon. Further, the holding arm portion 20 is formed with elastically deformable portions 21 at a portion near the base, a portion slightly above the root, and a portion near the front end. The elastically deformable portion 21 is configured by making the width narrower than other portions. In addition, a portion having a slightly smaller width is formed in portions other than the elastically deformable portion 21 so as to further contribute to elastic deformation (indicated by reference numeral 22).
[0012]
The cord wire 19 is fitted to these cord wire stoppers 20a, and is fastened and fixed by a fastening band 23. The distal end of the cord wire 19 is provided with a connector and is connected to another electric component or a circuit.
[0013]
In this apparatus, when the user operates the operation unit 15 after opening the rear door 1, the switch 18 is turned on and an appropriate door closing mechanism is operated, whereby the rear door 1 is closed.
[0014]
As described above, when the door switch device 11 is assembled (before the lining 1a is attached), the gap between the outer plate portion 6a and the inner plate portion 6b of the door plate 6, which is the double wall of the rear door 1, is provided. G, and the code line 19 is also in this gap G. When the distal end portion of the cord wire 19 is pulled out of the gap G or when it is pulled around thereafter, an external force is applied to the holding arm portion 20. According to the present embodiment, the elastically deformable portion 21 is elastically deformed. The external force can be absorbed, and the main body 12 does not come off from the mounting hole 6d as the mounted portion, the engaging claw 13a is not damaged, and the holding arm 20 is not damaged. When the external force disappears, the elastically deformable portion 21 elastically returns, and the holding arm portion 20 returns to the original state, so that the cord wire 19 can be held in a predetermined form.
[0015]
In addition, the elastically deformable portion is not limited to being configured from the narrow portion. For example, the entire elastically deformable portion may be formed by reducing the thickness or forming the material itself of the holding arm portion from an elastic member. good. Further, instead of the switch, another electric component such as a rear camera or a rear proximity sensor may be used. Further, the present invention is not limited to the door switch device, and can be applied to a lock device and the like.
[0016]
【The invention's effect】
As is apparent from the above description, the present invention has an excellent effect that the holding arm portion is not damaged, the mounting portion of the main body is not damaged, and the main body is not detached from the mounted portion.
